Preview of ePortfolio Maastricht 2008

July 14, 2008

Don Presant has been acting as voluntary reviewer of contribution proposals for the upcoming international ePortfolio & Digital Identity 2008 conference in Maastricht, The Netherlands, scheduled 22-24 October.

This has been a great opportunity to witness the evolution of current and emerging practice in ePortfolios.

Proposed topics include:

Video portfolios for teaching

Avatar ePortfolios in synthetic worlds such as Second Life

Employability ePortfolios for vocational occupations

Regional and national strategies for interoperable ePortfolios

M-portfolios using mobile technologies

ePortfolio for immigrants

This is just a very thin sample from a very rich offering.

Although this takes place right after CAPLA's annual conference in Banff (Oct 19-21), requiring a long day of travel in between, it's definitely worth a look. And Maastricht is a very interesting corner of Europe.
